Vickie Schroyer
› Office: Hamilton County Register of Deeds
› Party: Democrat
› Previous public office experience: Although I have not held an elected office, I have worked in the Register of Deeds Office for more than 35 years; currently serving as deputy register.
› Why voters should choose me: Having worked under the past three administrations, I have the knowledge and experience for the position of register. I know the job, the documents and the duties of the staff. I know the importance of maintaining accurate indexes to real estate transactions. I’ve recorded, indexed and scanned documents.
› Biggest challenge facing the office I seek: A challenge will be keeping up with technology. Having seen the successful transition from leather-bound books to online data systems years ago, I know the importance of keeping up with technology and the needs of our customers and citizens of this great county.
› How I will address this challenge: I will work closely with our customers and citizens to address their needs. I will continue to make sure that the staff and systems are ready for the continued growth of Hamilton County. I will work closely with our computer programmer and Hamilton County’s information technology department before new technology is incorporated so that it will meet our needs.
› Policy position of mine that may surprise people: I want to employ someone who speaks more than one language or ask an employee to learn another language. The population of Hamilton County is diverse, and we need to be able to communicate effectively.
› Public servant I most admire: The late Mrs. Dorothy Brammer. She served as register for 32 years. She took a chance and hired me when I was only 19. She allowed me to work for her and the wonderful citizens of Hamilton County. She taught me the importance of the office.
